This paper proposed an efficient game character design method through semiotic analysis of character. It inquired into the characteristics of game character of various contents characters, added the concept of "Iconic abstraction" of Scott McCloud to its characteristics, and studied on the relation between the character and the semiotics. The semiotic character from the factual character, seized the strong and weak point of each character, and divided them in the designer's character production process and gamer's character recognition process step by step for its semiotic interpretation. As a result, two processes were reversely progressed, and the character designing process considering this gamer's semiotic recognition process is expected to be the efficient character design element that can deliver the whole characteristics of game contents.

As the mobile market has been expanded and segmented, a mobile market for kids could be possibly appeared sooner or later. Then, it is necessary to develop a new contents for the new media - a mobile game hardware for kids. These days, kids are most interested in computer games, and they do not have enough time to play with peers. Therefore, in this paper, edutainment game contents based on the wireless internet, are developed. The game could supply kids' learning, fun and especially, peer interaction. In order to develop a game contents through user centered design process, the state of art in mobile hardware and contents was examined, a secondary research and interviews and survey was conducted to understand users. Then, when ideas for game contents has suggested, behavior prototype test was done to verify and modify contents. The suggested game contents in this study, is a occupation simulation game, in which kids simulate their own future career and learn related knowledge in a unintentional way. The result of the study suggests the new direction of edutainment game contents and platform. Also, this study shows the representation of user-centered contents developing process for kids, which could be helpful for the following studies.

Game theory is a method of mathematical analysis developed to study the decision making process. In 1928, Von Neumann mathematically proved that every two-person, zero-sum game with many pure finite strategies for each player is deterministic. In the early 50's, Nash presented another concept as the basis for a generalization of Von Neumann's theorem. Another central achievement of game theory is the introduction of evolutionary game theory, by which agents can play optimal strategies in the absence of rationality. Through the process of Darwinian selection, a population of agents can evolve to an Evolutionary Stable Strategy (ESS) as introduced by Maynard Smith in 1982. Keeping pace with these game theoretical studies, the first computer simulation of coevolution was tried out by Hillis. Moreover, Kauffman proposed the NK model to analyze coevolutionary dynamics between different species. He showed how coevolutionary phenomenon reaches static states and that these states are either Nash equilibrium or ESS in game theory. Since studies concerning coevolutionary phenomenon were initiated, there have been numerous other researchers who have developed coevolutionary algorithms. In this paper we propose a new coevolutionary algorithm named Game theory based Coevolutionary Algorithm (GCEA) and we confirm that this algorithm can be a solution of evolutionary problems by searching the ESS. To evaluate this newly designed approach, we solve several test Multiobjective Optimization Problems (MOPs). From the results of these evaluations, we confirm that evolutionary game can be embodied by the coevolutionary algorithm and analyze the optimization performance of our algorithm by comparing the performance of our algorithm with that of other evolutionary optimization algorithms.

Analyzing the aspects of pattern in MMORPG that has been leading our domestic game industry to the climax, our game industry might be thought to orient the space narrative storytelling method containing the leading life in the virtual sociality to the nature of society. It is essential to have the convergence and linkage between media in describing the lifestyle in the virtual society, which should be operated in a very flexible manner. It is, however, true that we are lacking of the quantification of designing process until now, although the designing process should have the vivid academic functions between media in advance. In addition, the designing crossing over the MMORPG genre along with the game patterns in the MMORPG genre has close correlations with the spectrum of crises emerging recently in our domestic online game industry. In other words, this essay aims at raising an issue that the selective method to the lifestyle in the virtual society being settled down as characteristics inherent to the methods of our domestic online games might deliver the improving effects through the establishment of game designing jobs and compliant plans.

The domestic online game market is rapidly growing and changing because of the game service that makes game users agreeable to their characters. However, the game service cannot satisfy with game users' need because it only considers game users' characters. As a result of this, there gives rise to side effects such as a secession from a customer group and a boycott. Furthermore, these have effect on life or death in the game market. Therefore, the purpose of this study examines game users' dissatisfaction and satisfaction about online game how to express. Through this process, this study willing to suggest a strategy for recovering service of the game company.

Currently domestic game market rapidity is developmental but the game production process does not become systematization. Also it is bringing the failure of game that problem point of conversation between game planner and game developer.. The research which to conversation between game planner and game developer it sees does extracting a game element to expressed game characteristics from the product for game planning and it change extracted element into class and In order to express the relationship of element for it presents a relationship of class. Instance research it leads. It grasps a relationship among extracted classes and it supports systematic game planning.

To minimize a negative cognition of the game, recently the game industry has been researched of serious games such as medical game, tutoring game, advertisement and game training simulation game. The development and method of those serious games is far less formalized than other software development and is still in the beginning stages. We will define three types of advertisement games in the paper and propose a serious game development method which is based on traditional activities culture. Also we will explain element technologies and process for developing a serious game and apply a suggested method to YOOT games which is a typical Korea traditional game among several games.

This study seeks to examine the aspects of the translation and translation activities of game fan translators through the localization case of 'Dragon Age Inquision'. The interaction and experience of the game are game fan translation, giving various motivations and generating translation kinetics. The study confirmed the motivation by observing the process of game fan translation, which shows the characteristics of producers and recipients at the same time, and interviewing game fan translators. The translation of the game fan will reveal the productive aspect of the game fandom, and then I suggest a point where the game culture should discuss the fan translation.

Every year, although the number of game enterprises increases, every game which is developed and distributed by these enterprises do not have competitiveness. One game even increasing competitiveness and added value of game industry, we have to develop games which are satisfied with users, and for it, we need scientific research which evaluates about satisfaction. In this paper, We quantatively estimate game satisfaction by using AHP and statistical method. Also we discuss the method which derive distribution of game satisfaction. We can acquire expected effect which predicts satisfaction level and standard about games by using these methods.

In this paper, we considered that recently 3D game characters have been almost alike realistic expression because of a great mathematical computation and efficient techniques on GPU hardware. We presented the rendering technique and analysis for 3D game characters to simulate and render mathematical approach model from recent researches to perform the game engine for the surface reflection of lighting model. We compare our approach with the existing variant rendering techniques here using Open GL shader language on game engine. The experimental result will be provided the view-dependent visual appearance of variant and effective modeling characters for realistic expression using existing methods on the GPU for effective simulations and rendering process. Since there are many operations that are used redundantly while performing mathematical operations, the necessary functions and requirements have been to compute in advance.
